Onewheel GT S-Series Review: Built for Pro Racers & Average Riders Like Me
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 ноя 2023
- The new Onewheel GT S-Series is NOT just for Racers and Speed Addicts, it's for weekend warriors and average riders like me who are looking for a fun and safe ride. The Onewheel GTS is built for both speed AND safety!
GTS Nosedive clip: • GTS TOP SPEED NOSE DIV...
I fell in love with the Onewheel ride about 5 years ago but because of an under powered system and constant worries of nosedives, I fell out of love with the Onewheel. The Onewheel GTS has rekindled my love for that sideways stance, shredding machine.
The Onewheel GTS is perfect midlife crisis machine.

The GTS really deserves to be called the Onewheel because, at its current price, most people won't be able to afford another :)
imagine buying a EUC
😅
@@greenwave819🤮 No way!
@@greenwave819imagine not being able to ride one
I just paid off my Onewheel GT and no way can I afford to buy another one .. especially not one that costs a thousand dollars more than my GT.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So stoked you both love it!! Also congratulations on becoming a father Andrew! 🤘❤
Man, you guys are on top of your game. Love how you guys continue to give us a wholesome look at PEVs from many different characteristics. Thanks for all you continue to do for the PEV Community. ❤❤
Much appreciated! Thanks for the support!
The only video on the GT-S i was looking for, thanks a lot for the amazing content over the years
Great honest review Jimmy! Like you and Andrew I’m a father and work full time. I can’t afford a serious injury that will put me on the sidelines at work and at home. I’m still riding a XR and have always ridden conservatively to avoid injury. I’ve gotten to the point were I have a good sense board feel and can tell what my XR is doing and what it can handle. But there are still occasions when I don’t trust the board.
I keep telling myself I don’t need a GT-S because I ride conservatively and don’t chase speed. But you guys hit the nail on the head, that extra torque is peace of mind. Still undecided if I’ll pull the trigger on one, my XR has been rock solid and I want to wait for the kinks, if any, to get worked out on the GT-S.
To fix that tail slap, change your jump zone reengagement in custom shaping.
Pro tip!
super informative! best honest review! Props to bro getting back on after breaking anything!
Andrew congratulations on becoming a father soon! Jimmy this was a beautiful video full of great points. So happy to see you happy on the Onewheel again. I also liked the Segway Minipro cameo, lol.
Thanks so much! Always good to hear from Mike in Tampa!
Thanks Mike! I’m excited for this little ripper to join the family.
This is 100% - whenever our clients ask about the differences, this is pretty much the feedback. 99% of riders are mostly cruising - so the new haptic feedback just makes sense. Same with added power of the S for heavier dudes. Great review as always!
Great review gentleman, happy you did this one ✊
hey there! thanks for speaking at my school today. didnt know four people died on one wheel. youve given me inspiration for what i want to follow; your presentation has given me more effort towards the passions i dont want to follow and keep them with me? im
not sure theyll be my little buddies. thanks a lot man.
i was the guy in the yellow and black long sleeve and t shirt combo that asked you for your autograph.
Thanks for all the great questions and comments! Good luck to you!
It took years, but they finally built one for you Jimmy!
So true, same for me. Broke wrist from a gt cutout 40% acceleration (my fault).
I already have a GT so I dont think ill grab the GT-S. But it is truly awesome what they have made. I love the range of the GT, I'd probably have ramge anxiety with GT-S.
I have both and I still take out my gt a lot. I actually wrecked it yesterday 😅. I hit a little rock (about the size of a small plum) while doing 28 mph on it and I absolutely went tumbling! A big piece of the rock cracked off from hitting it at that speed. If you have the b lls to push into the pushback, the gt absolutely hauls ass! I'm pretty busted up and I broke my foot though 😕
Yoooo, congrats to Scooter guru about the baby soon! Love your vids guys!
love seeing these pros take time outta there day to take a step backwards and glance at these silly lil things. Kids need toys too!!
😅
I'm 61 years old and ride onewheel every day.
I'm on my second onewheel and have over 5000 miles of experience.
Blame the user, not the machine.
¡¡¡¡Congratulations Andrew!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Regards from Chile 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you! Little ripper is due at any moment.
Hey Jimmy finally bought my first onewheel! Black friday discount got me! I first heard of OW from your channel and referenced your how ride video! TY
S for SAFETY - THANK YOU! No one gets why I, a cruiser, so far happy with my XR's, is now ready to give FM more money. Thank you Jimmy!
Really love you guys talking about the SAFETY factor here.
Any experienced PEV rider knows more power= more safety.
Only pev's with one wheel. I wouldn't agree on anything else.
Single series battery means its factually less safe as it has no redundancy to keep powerful a cell fails
@@MrDmadnessthat's a great point thanks for bringing it up. I hope FM did some engineering magic to make up for it. I wonder if we'll hear more details about that in the next couple of weeks or months
@@justh0dl mark my words, this will be an issue, people will crash at speed. I'm not a fan of fm ( full disclosure here ) but being neutral looking at this circuit there is nothing to save you if a cell fails.. literally zero safety built in., imo the balancing capacitors are not high enough mfd
@@MrDmadness people crash at speed now on any kind of onewheel'd vehicle. Someone already nose dived at 35mph and someone also has a bricked board that turned off on em. But that's also happened with the GT + XR and it also happens with VESC's & EUC's.
What's important is if it happens more often than before. Here's hoping it doesn't but it's unrealistic to ride these things and never think someone will take a tumble.
Noticed the emove roadster in the garage. Can't wait for the video of it
We received some really epic toys in the past week.
Using the unopened Inmotion V14 box to stand up and review a onewheel is CRAZY
Crazy awesome! Just a little preview of what’s to come! Oh, and the other box holding up the GT is unopened too. Gotta a guess what’s inside?
I did buy a Specialized Stumpjumper Expert carbon Bike and a CAPiTA Mercury Snowboard for 3500.- in total together. If.....I should crash it is because of me and not because of a random cell error. Also here in Switzerlands Mountains that "board" would be toast in a couple of months. I Inlineskate and ride Skateboard my entire life also and safety is my primary concern. With those one-wheel its just a matter of when and not if sadly =/
Man i think you dropped this 📌

Love you guys
Thanks for the review. Bought a GT in July 2023, as my intro to board sports after A few months of riding, research, and
Not liking how tippy it was installed W rails, GTS lowboy footpads and goat tire and now handles great and fun to ride .I’m Getting a second board cause you need 2 lol decided on XR Vesc 5 inch hub platform for later this year. I weigh 165 pounds and can benefit from a lighter board with better performance than the GTS and it’s been proven in too many videos for me to consider GTS. Price not an issue. That being said, I’m loving my modified GT Almost at 1000 hours
Please help, im stuck on the wolf warrior x and the mantis king gt. For fun, cruising around on the wekeends. Which is a better scooter?
Will you review the floatwheel?
Would you watch it if we did?
@@freshlycharged Yes! I would so love to get your take on it, especially in comparison to the GTS
I trust these guys on reviews 👍
I appreciate that!
I just wish they'd go further into the pack build ( no one really does) . But seems to be cordial fellows.
Finally a onewheel that goes the speeds I want but it’s so expensive.Maybe when the price drops I’ll pick one up.Definitely wanna get one of these to replace my V10F
I had a V10F! Great beginner wheel! Then I upgraded to the Patton, and man that was the right choice. still need a onewheel though.
Get 2 floatwheels for the price instead. Plus they are better than this thing.
@@MrDmadnessSuperflux better than float.
We’ll be testing a float wheel… hopefully soon.
@@TheHitman- it may be, ive not taken any readings of either so can t comment. They seem fairly even based on other RUclips reviews. Regardless I'd trust vesc at this point over future motion 100% which was my main offering in the comment
They purposely built the regular GT unsafe, so they can charge you an extra grand on the GT S.
100%
9:22 congrats Andrew on fatherhood! 🎉
Thanks! I’m excited for this next chapter in my life.
What’s the real range difference? Because OneWheel GT are meant to go 32 Miles. What is the lowest range of both boards (GT vs GTS)
Great video! Thank you!
It is funny that you are interested by safety and speed 😁 Those two don’t really go hand in hand 😜
Now waiting for the Pint S but hopefully not at GT prices. That price point is gonna kill em in the end. $2,600 would have been a reasonable cost.
Pint S 22mph?
Tail slap is normal since the rear is heavier with the battery. An easy way to avoid it is to ride the board backwards.
These are crazy
Thx having coffee
and watching. from downunder
I still have an XR with almost 500 miles on it and I just ordered this GT S Series. Did I make a good buy? Thx great video
super review
Glad you liked it
Couldn't help but notice you put the GTS on an unopened Inmotion Adventure box. I think I would have unboxed that first.
So many boxes! So little time! I’m happy to report the InMotion box is opened, video recorded, and now the editing fun begins!
I put a little piece of electric tape between where the mag handle sits and I don't get a handle rattle...
That’s a pro tip!
@@Andrew-vt4jt I appreciate you! Also, a couple layers thick will alleviate any clearance issues with mag handle clearance to Float life savers!
is that voromotors emove roadstar on the right side of the frame??
🤫
Love my gts…. Was wondering what the best electric scooter is out right now. Regardless of price. Will buy whatever you recommend
I’m not sold on the safety aspect: A 1P pack is much less safe than 2P, especially when the cells get older. Voltage sag and cell failure will increase probability of nosedive. My euc is 6P for good reason
In what way are _multiple_ parallel cells safer ? _( I'll guess that a failure in one cell won't kill the entire pack? )_
What do you think about the idea that FM, in the recent update, may have removed the single sensor shut off restriction when riding in reverse, above 1mph.
They did that on purpose up to a limit of 3 mph to prevent ghosting.
@@Anonymous-xp7ze But apparently they told nowone? With FMs total commitment to safety was that good?
@@oldretireddude “Hey, we implemented a new feature that prevents ghosting by requiring both sides of the sensor to be engaged when going backwards up to 3mph. It’s for your safety.” From a PR viewpoint it would have distracted from the other features they wanted to sell us on. They certainly know marketing well, I’ll give them that.
NICE
Did one wheel fix the ghosting on the gt
Too pricey for me. I am waiting for some second generation Floatwheels.
Should we do a review of the float wheel?
@freshlycharged Yes, please, that would be great!
@@freshlycharged is that coming soon? I was also surprised not to see an adv review in your list.
@@GlenoraFA soo many wheels, so little time! I’m working as hard as I can!
Whoa! Is this a flash back guys!? Back to Jimmy's origins with the OneWheel. Looks great guys hoping to see a bunch of ride videos of Jimmy and fam. Jimmy what are those awesome elbow/forearm protectors your wearing in the video?
You know it! Good to be back on the Onewheel! Here's a link to the elbow pads. Nothing fancy, but they do the trick. amzn.to/3QVIVIp
You can fix the tail slap with custom shaping! The default shaping has it, but it's a quick fix
Great tip!
The tail slap effect can be deactivated in the 3.0 settings
You can mitigate tail slap by working on your technique. Dip the nose and take more weight off before you drop and absorb with the knees on the landing. That’s not really on Future Motion, imo.
Do you guys sneak rides you haven't talked about yet in the background?
We received a lot of fun toys the past week. Lot of exciting reviews coming up in the next few weeks.
I've had my gt as fast as I've had my gt-s. I had it up to 28.2 yesterday.
GTS YES
Are you at all worried about the single series of the battery pack? If one cell dies, I hear it will drop you instantly. What are your thoughts? Great vid
We didn’t know that or we would have mentioned it. It’s unfortunate and we hope they make improvements on it in the future.
Can we address the elephant in the room, or should i say the inmotion V14 they're using as a stand!!! Can't wait for that review, Even the same price as the GTS!
That’s going to be a fun video!
So tha humble savage that fell at 30 MPH....I take it the board was telling him to stop and then it just gave out vs pushback? like nose to ground? Oh my, 1/2 centimeter lower on the GT-s I'm sure we will all be able to feel that...and last thing, I get it, its safer...but is it safer at 20% battery? Or just when it's full battery? My GT when it gets to 20%, id be scared to push it at all, and for me 10% is zero really, it dies. Do we get 10% of riding ? Thanks great video!
There ought to be some way to have fail-safe sensing input to a pneumatic or spring-loaded output... that deploys down a wheel (maybe the size of a skateboard wheel) when loss of power is detected. I'm not a OW rider but I saw a nasty crash where there was a power loss causing the riders nose to slam into the concrete and ofcourse they ate shit. The video showed on here the guy was lucky to so gracefully crash when his nose slammed.
I'm sticking to my eucs and have given up on riding ows for anything damanding.. the gts is still too little too late and for too much $.. cannot justify the price compared to what my ex30 and Extreme can already do.. I only ride my ow cbxr/ soon to be vesc for casual chill riding.. but for the greatest thrills my eucs cannot be matched.. I've also come to realize that it's simply more natural, intuitive and ergonomically better for the body to face forward in the direction of travel like we do walking or running . It's not natural nor ergonomically good for the body to be traveling for long periods of time in a sideways twisted stance.. still enjoy my ow but the stoke I get from riding ows is magnified multiple times riding eucs.. and I don't think people look cooler on ows and like clowns on eucs.. how you look is irrelevant.. how you feel riding them and how much you enjoy the ride is far more important imho and don't think it's necessary to limit yourself to just one or the other.. variety is the spice of life. But imho eucs are safer (still much higher headroom plus suspension) and more enjoyable
Great review but definitely disagree with the stance on why they don't want people fixing their boards, it's just greed on future motions part.
Dang you guys are really teasing with that v14. What's in that other euc box? A patton perhaps 🤔
The other box has a Veteran Lynx.
Sure, safer in terms of torque available. However, the series battery configuration means there's LESS of a safety margin if any one cell in the battery fails.
We didn’t know that about that. It is unfortunate because battery cells can and will fail over time.
Hi. New here. Does anyone have a recommendation for which affordable one wheel I can use for the first time as a beginner?😊
Pint
XR
Pint X
Floatlife fixed hid GTs, so the back doesn't do that. He did it in the app
now speed is not everything by any means but it’s sad that the fastest ow goes 25mph considering the fastest euc should go 3-5x faster then that
I got a question should I sell my Onewheel GT and buy a GY series S
I meant GT series S
I think you forgot to declare that you were given the GT-S by FM......
I paid for it. Thanks.
oops 😅 🤙🏾
@@freshlycharged surprising, but cool!
How about the XR?
I just wish it was a tad more affordable.
Paying more so your ride is 'safe' is kinda ridiculous.
Why are the smaller battery options even available if they are clearly dangerous.
Been waiting for this one! Float on guys! 🤙🏻🛞💨
"S doesn't stand for speed"...yet that was the main comparison. I don't need or want to get close to 20 mph...just want a dependable board I don't have to send back to Santa Cruz and wait...wait and wait for repairs and/or correspondence.
How much do you guys weigh?????
GTS slick tire option already!?
“You get what you pay for.” Highly subjective. I don’t agree. Not at $3500.
Damn Humble Savage. Looks painful 😢
5:56
Yeah that’s bullcrap, Haptic Buzz did not reduce top speed.
Pre-haptic buzz I did 28.1mph post-haptic buzz I did 28.6mph as an 185lb rider.
Haptic buzz just makes you THINK you can’t go as fast, but you can.
onewheel? is it like Segway?
Do these explode too
Never seen a regular Onewheel explode
you can fix the tail slap in the app.
6:40 I bet Xiomy e-scooter can clear that, kinda of sad for a 2k PEV, good thing it's made in US though, means all of the money goes to Silicon Valley investors and those guys really deserve it lol
I probably rather get a sit ron for that price or a little
Honda civic
Just replicate the feeling with GT, Pint X, PInt and XR instead of this one. You can still experience the Onewheel at reasonable price just not with GTS.
this guy is on FM paycheck
For sure is. Having a single series means a single cell failure will kill the circuit and dump you on your face. Give it time and you will see this emerge, quote me on this. Its more dangerous
@@MrDmadness That makes sense in theory, but we never saw that with the Pint which is a 15s1p pack, and I've seen pretty much every failure posted on the Onewheel subreddit since the Pint launch. Also, the way PEV packs are constructed, in a 2p pack (let's say 18s2p like the GT) 36 battery cells are welded together in pairs of two and act like a single cell as far as the battery management system is concerned. That BMS will initiate low battery pushback whenever any given cell (single battery cell or two battery cells welded into one paired "cell") approaches its low voltage cutoff. In the event of a cell failure in real world conditions, it's not clear to me that those welded pairs of cells will fare any better than a single cell. If one cell in a welded pair fails, it will just suck down the voltage of its paired cell, and you'd end up in the same situation, just several minutes later. I could be wrong, but if so I'd expect to have seen it in Pints or XR "stunt packs" made by Chi. I'm not saying this to be a Future Motion fanboy, and I'm certainly not one. After they removed the ability to view individual cell voltages a couple years ago I decided I'd never buy a product from them directly, and my opinion of them has gotten worse since. I'm just not convinced a single series pack is a real-world risk that merits changing one's buying decisions.
Good video guys, and thanks for mentioning the right to repair considerations!
@@DoctorDugong21 if the pack is 2p then 1 p wi,,still function in a failure, it will bleed into the other parallel circuit and drain really fast but will hold some voltage.
@@MrDmadness I guess I'm still confused - what you said would make sense if it were two separate series. A cell in one series could fail and the other series would keep working. But the way these packs are constructed, it's not - it's pairs of cells welded together, and then those pairs in series. So it still behaves as a single series as I understand it. So for example on the 15s2p XR pack, if you view cell voltages in the OWCE app, it displays 15 cells and their voltages - those are the voltages of 15 welded pairs of cells. And it has 15 balance wires to manage those 15 pairs of cells. So if an individual cell fails, it doesn't seem like there really is a whole other series to back it up, rather it seems like there's only it's second paired cell to back it up. This is about the limit of my understanding, so maybe there are some particularities of how packs work where this construction still behaves like a real pair of two series, but I don't understand how it does. Maybe we shouldn't be calling a pack like the XR's 15s2p, or the GT's 18s2p - maybe that 2p is misleading?
@@DoctorDugong21 the balancing leads are not the mains. If its 2 p then you have 2 banks at the l2 connection ( where the power leaves the circuit ) converging.
In single bank ( single series ) each cell is acting as a primary part of the circuit so if a ell drops the power losess it's available l2 ( or ground ) that 133v to 0v as fast as electrons can flow, where 2 parallel cell configurations would only drop half the nominal voltage ( the second bank without failed cells still holds the circuit path )
For $3200 I'll buy an EX30
GT-S series is what GT should have been when released‼️ still needs standard 6” wheel and right to replace your own battery an components, board is nice but costs $1100 to much🤦♂️
Got a gt and an xr, I'll just wait for someone to fry it and see if I can vesk with that nasty motor
I don’t think you can “fix” the tail slap.
How come the only onewheels you review are Future Motions? Yet when you review other pev's you review different companies?
We’ve reviewed the Trotter and we just got the Floatwheel in.
@@Andrew-vt4jt Nice!
I can help wirh custom shaping and fixing that tail slap. Reach out anytime.
I hate that tail slap on future motion boards
I guess I can adjust that in custom shaping but didn’t know that while riding the new GTS.
New euc or k6,no ow for me
Its opened up a lotnof new terrain for me. So worthbit for the extra torque. Combined with custom, its a beast.
cool onewheel only problem no one can afford it
$3300 for something that only goes 16-20 miles range??? No Thank you
An EUC for that price get about 100 miles range and a scooter about 70+ miles.
Even Electric Skateboards get 40 miles range and go faster at almost half the cost...It can't even climb a small drive way. That incline was probably less than 5%
Is it safe?? Oh hell no, but we still love it 😊
I never updated my board so I don’t have the haptic feedback, bs
👍👍video
Thanks for the visit
This looks awesome. They should all come with fangs installed. I live at the top of a short steep hill. Those fangs have saved me many times.
